A method of teaching an individual to operate a bicycle comprising the steps of: (a) placing the bicycle in an upright position on a support surface; (b) positioning the individual on the bicycle in a ready position wherein the individual is situated upright on the seat with his feet placed on the foot supports and with his hands placed on the steering mechanism; (c) holding the bicycle upright while preventing forward motion thereof and thereafter selectively tilting the bicycle with a plurality of tilting movements between left and right sides of the upright position, with the individual generating a response to tilting movements with a correct response being a manipulation of the steering mechanism in a same direction as each of said tilting movements; and (d) monitoring the responses of the individual to the tilting movements until the individual reacts with correct responses thereto, each correct response being within a selected time interval.
